Sorry guys....no photos.

As for the filling and bleeding procedure....I did exactly what the head nissan mechanic told me to do. Since there is not a bleeder screw, he told me about the Jack up the car trick....

When I blipped the throttle a few times to about 3K rpm, the reservoir emptied and I ...

Radiator is like $550 retail, but I got mine locally (Nissan Dealer) for $435 plus tax. I have found them online for around $450.

The corrected radiator P/N is 21460-9CA0E.

I looked at the bypass and/or adding an additional cooler. I also looked at buying an aftermarket complete radiator.

I found ...

After passing 81K miles, I decided to be proactive. I bought the upgraded OEM radiator and swapped them out over the weekend. The entire swap was pretty simple with just a few key steps.

1) remove lower engine cover/pan and drain coolant from radiator drain plug.
2) remove trans hoses and plug ends ...

gotcha....I am looking to swap them out over my x-mas break, so hopefully with the warranty notice it will spark some additional coversation before then.

Yeah, the 08+ have the trans cooler lines across the bottom...inlet on passenger side and outlet on drivers side.

If you find the new P/N...post ...

I would have to confirm somehow that the Nissan Radiator is infact fixed....versus something that has been on the shelf a while. I'm not sure finding that answer will be easy.

I have been looking into Koyo.

I have an 2008 PF with V8 and 81K miles.

I am looking to replace the stock radiator as preventative measure and do not want to bypass after reading this:

I was originally going with bypass + 2nd external, but now I just want to replace the OE ...

I am re-thinking the 2 external coolers after reading this thread:

In summary, the Radiator/trans cooler is way more efficient than an external...especially at low speeds.

I will be researching a good aftermarket radiator to swap. I think they ...

Thanks. I have a 08 V8 and 81K miles. I am looking to bypass and add 2nd auxiliary behind the factory external cooler, but I am worried about running too cool in winter conditions and normal driving.

I plan to hook a scanner up tonight and see what temps I currently run at and how long it takes to ...

Any temp readings with 2 external coolers vs OEM set-up vs bypass only?

I didn't get that far with the dealer. My trailer loaded (bike trailer) is around 2400lbs. I do not have trailer brakes.

the backside of the rotors have about a 1/4+ inch ring of corrosion were the bads aren't even contacting the rotor. Im my experience, resurfacing is a short term fix.

I have 23K miles and my brakes are shuttering pretty bad. I do tow a race trailer, so I am not too suprised by the mileage.

I was at the dealer today for my oil change and tried to get the brakes covered by warranty. After inspection, they said they would warranty the rotors (normally $100 each ...
